Dell Precision Optimizer User's Guide

Notifications

The Notifications section displays all current notifications. You can view the Plug-In Options for Graphics and Performance Notifications in this section.

Plug-In Options for Graphics

Dell Precision Optimizer allows you to install plug-in options that are certified for some applications which you may be using on your system. To find out whether Dell provides any certified plug-in options for your specific system, click View all.

NOTE: This section is not displayed if plug-in options are not available for your system.

The certified version that you have downloaded and installed may be an older version, than the latest version is available in the Dell support site for your system. If you need to switch back to the latest graphics plug-in options (which may or may not be certified), use the System Updates page.

Install Plug-In for Graphics

Click Notifications on the upper right corner of the Optimization page to view the available plug-in options for graphics. This link is disabled if Dell Precision Optimizer did not find any available certified drivers for your system or you have not run CHECK FOR UPDATES from the System Updates page even once.

NOTE: Dell Precision Optimizer checks for available plug-in options when you either run CHECK FOR UPDATES manually or run it periodically in auto mode.

Click View all to see all the available plug-in options and their versions. If that specific plug-in version is not already installed, an option to Download and Install is displayed.

This page also shows whether or not one of these plug-in options are already installed on your system.

Once you start to download and install a plug-in option from this page, you would not be able to either check for updates, nor apply any updates.

Once the update is complete, a window indicating the status of the update is displayed.

NOTE: The certified driver that you have downloaded and installed may be an older version than the latest available from the Dell support site for your system. If you need to switch back to the latest graphics driver (which may or may not be certified), use the System Updates screen.

Performance Notifications

Enabling the toggle allows you to track and view any Performance Notifications generated by the Dell Precision Optimizer. These notifications are generated only when either System Analysis or Workload Analysis is running and when either high CPU, Memory, or Disk utilization is detected by Dell Precision Optimizer.

To view any existing notifications, click View all.
